    Yesterday was plant clones day, I took the clones out of the water and put them in a tray. They are in my 2x4x4 tent with a 1500w LED up high, as they look better I am going to start lowering the light but there is so much light in the tent I am pretty sure they are getting enough. The other clones are recovering and may grow.

    I ordered 8 bricks of coco coir last night. I am picking up some pearlite at Home Depot today, its half the price it is at Home Depot as Amazon. I am going to try these out at 18/6 the last current grow I have I vegged 24/7. I am going to plant 8 of them. I have some coco coir 3" pots that I will move them into when I get the bricks. I will pick the best one from each strain and put them in 5 gallon fabric pots and then the remaining 6 in 3 gal pots. I am going to have to get a more powerful fan for my veg tent. I have the 4" duct fan running but the temp is staying around 80 and humidity is 70%.

    Anyone ordered from seed king it has been 3 weeks since I got shipping notice. No seeds yet, I check the mail as soon as I get home, I hope they come, but I will have a batch to move into my 4x4 tent when the 2 plants I have are done and dry I hope. And then start some real seeds, I am excited to see some known strains growing.

    The remaining 2 of my 5 plants that are girls keep growing like crazy, buds are remotely starting to form. Whatever this strain is it is tall and slow, the smell is good, they just seem to be taking a long time to get buds really going. My buddy planted his plants just about the same time and he has very visible buds. The clones that are on survival mode came from him.

    Otherwise all is good not much to do but wait. temp is staying at 75 day and 65 night at 45 to 50 humidity. Lights on at 6am and off at 6pm.

    This is the best hobby in the F#$kin in the world!

      I love that fastbuds thread... they're having a great sale right now by the way. On seedsman.com, if you select the 5 packs for any fastbuds auto strain they give you 5 more for free. I got 21 free seeds with my order and have some blue dream, green crack, and cream cookies autos on their way 🙌🙌

      Take a peek at their stuff, let's get our own fastbuds grow thread started lol

      I did look at their stuff, I am not ordering anymore seeds, untill I need them. I intend to keep 2 mothers of the Gelato and Strawberry Banana I am growing after I do a run of Auto's, If I really get into this, I could grow for medical patients and for each one grow their 12, but I don't have the space in my house with 4 kids and a girlfriend. I saw the add for fastbuds on that other site that creates a diary. Don't want to prompt other sites...... Well time to smoke and get to bed. I will be happy to participate in any threads!

    Looks like you are going through some of the same challenges as me with the low temperatures. This is my first grow too. I'm in the second week of flower running low 70's F day to low to mid 50's F at night. I have four plants in 5 gallon pots and they are close to four feet tall. Good luck!

      Your plants look great! I have my WIFI Hydrometrer and have kept the basement at 66 degrees consistently, and been able to maintain 60 to 76 degree range with a weekly average of 70 degrees and average of 48%

        Thanks man! First grow is going crazy! Nice that you can track your temps and humidity. I just use a infrared temp gun to measure leaf temps on occasion. And since I have a basement in Oregon, I never worry about humidity.

        It is really handy, the other day I accidentally unplugged the exhaust fan in my veg tent, and a hour later, i check the app and it was almost 90 in the tent, went checked and turned back on and got temps back down. I also move it back and forth between the 2 tents, I really don't need it in the flower tent anymore. I have it dialed in with the exhaust to keep very constant temps. You can look back any time frame as well. When I first started temps and rh were all over the place and over a few weeks got it dialed good. Eventually will get another one. Then can monitor all the time. I also have a WYSE camera in the Laundry Room for security and one in the tent with a time-lapse of the whole grow.

      Well after asking when my seeds would come, they were sitting on the counter when I got home. I did open them but forgot to take a picture. Very excited.

      I trimmed up some shade leaves at lunch and took a bunch of pictures the buds look like they are getting started now. I can see some little hairs. I also had to pick up some smoke I put a picture of it from a friend, it's birthday cookie and quite good! I made sure that each bud was getting light from above and tied down several branches. I also took off several lower small bud sites that were tiny.


      I was planning the following schedule with my two tents and where I am now. Give me any input from an experienced grower if my schedule and thinking is logical. Finish my first grow with my remaining 2 plants. While they finish flowering and drying, I have 10 clones and everything I need for a new grow. So I will plant the best 8 clones I am going to start them in 3" pots and move them bigger when needed, hopefully will go to 3gal but I don't think I can fit 8 in my 2x4x4 tent. As soon as my tent is empty and they are remotely healthy, put them in 4x4 tent and as that is happening I will germinate 3 of each of my SeedKing Gelato and Strawberry Banana seeds. I plan to grow 3 of each and keep the best of each as a mother in the veg tent. I am tempted to just grow the seeds and forget about the unknown clones, but I think I should practice some more. I want to learn more training and will be better prepared for my good known seeds. I may also get another small tent to keep the mother's in. Any input would be very appreciative.

        Today has been a very slow day at the car dealership. After taking a long lunch break and trimming and tying branches. I came back to work and updated my cost analysis spreadsheet. I have been tracking every expense so far. A lot of the stuff at the end was for the next grow, but I decided to track all expense related to my hobby during each grow. I really like numbers so I will probably break this down into categories and figure out what the grow cost and the equipment. I hope this gets cheaper as I go! I also have a 2nd page that is not formatted at all yet that calculates the expense with electricity and anything else that is a expense. I will share that another time. Well 10 minutes till I get to go happy growing everyone.

            Last night I got home and 2 more Amazon packages arrived and I bought my Perlite the other day so I decided to mix up one brick to see how it worked. I put a 5 Gallon fabric basket in the sink and started filling it with water and dropped the brick in. Went up and put food on the table ate dinner and came back down and the whole thin was huge and broke up easily. I put it on a rack above the sink and let it mostly drain and started mixing in 4 quarts of Perlite. I then filled my Coco 3" pots with some. I put the 8 lowest quality plants in these and kept the 2 best looking ones out (I wanted to put those 2 right in a 1 Gallon fabric pots which 10 arrived today (I will plant those tonight).

            Yesterday I was thinking about timelines, and since the two plants I have have taken so long to grow, I figured I could run a few Auto't in 60 to 70 days and if these clones make it I can just keep them veging and move the Auto's to the other tent as they are finishing. So I bought some Jack Herer auto seeds from SeedKing, they had sent my a 25% off coupon. So now the plan will be is to start those as soon as they come, Veg the 10 clones along, untill the Auto's finish and then keep one mother from each set of clones and run the rest of the clones. That means I will have to wait a bit longer to grow the Geloto and Strawberry Banana seeds I bought.

              Today at lunch I trimmed the plants up a bit. I figured out a way to position the plant right under the LED ceiling spotlight I have above my work area. I center the plant under and play with upper leaves that are casting shadows down on any of the cola's, I took off all the ties and replaced some of them and moved all the branches so each cola gets no shadows from either plant. I can't imagine how full this tent would have been if all 5 had been girls. The smell is getting stronger for sure.

              I find it amazing how fast the leaves grow and move around to get the best light possible. Buds are starting to form and it looks like going to have several top cola's. This site has had some of the most informative information I have found. I love reading everything, and figuring out my way to do it from reading all the information. I have said it before this is one awesome hobby!

              Happy Growing!

                  Saturday I gave the girls a bath. I filled up my sink, PH'd the water to 6.7, added some nuts and let them sit for 5-10 min and then drained them. Sunday the still looked good. I also pulled the main cola on the plant that sits on the right down to same height as other plant. Everything is looking good for them.

                    That looks great! Do you know how to Super Crop cannabis plants by slightly pinching the stems at the top and ends of longest branches to stunt their growth a little and let the plant bush out some?
                    I have seen it work pretty well. Just don't overdo it like one friend of mine who wound up with cute little Bonsai cannabis plants.
                    Just squeeze the branch a little until it will bend some, if they fall over it will only be for a few hours then they will straighten back up again.

                      I have read about it I did not do that with this grow, I did FIM them once, and I really liked the defloration information. I have been pulling the main cola down with clamps in the tent to keep the tops of the plants all about even and measuring the light distance to keep it at the optimal distance according to the article at about 16" above the top.

                    Took theses at lunch yesterday. Before I left for work I gave them some water. Had not watered since Saturday gave them each a drink, today pots still felt heavy. Not much changed today. This must be the hurry up and wait part.

                      Buds are starting to develop better today. My clones that are/were on life support are looking better today, mixed up some Maxi Grow/Calmag/PG 6.1 water and gave them a good drink. I cut a few dying leaves off.

                      I decided to add to my plan for next growing as well today. Since I had 3 out of 5 boys in this grow and will not yealided what I was hoping for out of my first grow, I had already ordered some Jack Herer Auto's and they should be here next week. I plan to veg the clones the whole time the Auto's run. I had bought some Geloto and Strawberry Banana from SeedKing and have those seeds now. I intend to grow those after the Auto's finish, since I now have these clones going I though what if I start one of each of the Geloto and Strawberry Banana and grow those as my mother plants. then as soon as the Autos finish I can move the clones into the flower tent and I will have 2 Mothers going I can take clones from to get my 4th grow going. Anyone want to weigh in on my thoughts on this. I do have to keep it to 12 plants to stay legal in MI. My Ex and Parents (even though I am 46) are not happy about it. They think that my kids are going to be exposed to it. I have and will continue to not let them near anything. It is sad, because this stuff keeps me off of anti-depressants and any other meds, They all only exposed to the negitives from other people and sources and never had read the benifits. Plus best f%&*ing hobby in the world.

                        You can use the Calendar feature on this forum or Google or Windows Calendars to plan out your grows. You can set up reminders and weekly feeding schedules. Its also a good journal tool to keep track of your grows.

                        I did not really see this yesterday, but today I found and removed these leaves from the plant on the left only on lower branches. I haven't really figured it out based on the tutorials I posted this in the Sticky Section too. Also a few pic's of the developing buds!

                          I got a update from a friend I texted who is a professional grower, he said "Looks like water drops that the light then burned the leaves".
